[Mapserver-users] installing mapserver on tomcat

[Luca Palli]

It is possible to configure Tomcat as a CGI server: 
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/cgi-howto.html

But this solution is not very good: you can only use MapServer to create the
images in a temporary folder and then.
If you try to acces directly to the map, without a temporary folder, Tomcat
translate it as ASCII text!

The better solution is to leave MapServer on Apache and to add also Tomcat
to Apache via the mod_jk:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2/index.html
